Has Ben Carson gone from esteemed brain surgeon (he did pioneer successful methods for separating conjoined twins) to brain dead? The Housing and Urban Development secretary took a beating during a House Financial Services Committee hearing. The questions were reasonable. His answers revealed ignorance. He confused a foreclosure term (REO) with a famous double stuffed cookie. He mixed up an office that focuses on women and minorities (OMWI) with a company frequently questioned as a pyramid scheme. But late-night comic Trevor Noah has some news that will erase all fears. The flubs were intentional, as Carson has a cookie-related plan. Noah explains in Best of Late Night, above. And Stephen Colbert tackles REO (real estate owned) and OMWI (the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion) business, even prompting his musical sidekick to play a few notes from "If I Only Had a Brain."
